The mission of the New Members Round Table (NMRT) is to help those who have been association members less than ten years become actively involved in the association and the profession.

Choose two recipients of the Annual Conference Professional Development Attendance Award and provide each winner with one ticket to the event of their choice ($100 value or less) at the Annual conference.
The Marshall Cavendish Award Committee was formed in 2006 upon the dissolution of the Exhibitor Contact and Relations Committee, which had managed the award in the past. In 2011, the committee’s name and charge were changed to its current name to reflect changes to the funding structure for the award.
One chair with five to seven members, all serving a one year term, from Annual to Annual.
NMRT Leadership Development Director
Most publicity will be via Footnotes, NMRT listserv, NMRT Blog, Committee web site, and other ALA listservs. The NMRT Secretary can assist with postings to Facebook, Twitter, the AL Direct web site, and the NMRT Blog.
The Committee web site should be updated at the beginning of the chair’s term, after selecting the winners, and at other times as necessary.
Prepare final report.
